Re: The Former Player Thread

In the highlight packages of his games so far, Plumlee looks far better than Roy did in all aspects of the game. What a difference being with the Pacers during the Vogel era and going against Roy in practices has made for Plumlee compared to what Roy had to go through. Plumlee looks like a young Tim Duncan. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs are willing to part with a fairly significant veteran player to nab Plumlee so that Duncan can help polish him into their center / pf of the future.

Happy we have Scola, but VERY sad we don't have Plumlee.

I love Miles and I was sad when we traded him but he doesn't look far better than Roy or like a young Tim Duncan.

Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.

Right you are.

I am happy for Miles. That pick was universally slammed (Stephen A. on PMSESPN called it beyond belief) I took a wait and see attitude when he was drafted. This is the situation he needs right now. But I would rather have Ian at this point.

Jermaine O'Neal had 18 points and 8 rebounds as a starter last night (Bogut was suspended). Y'all gotta watch his post-game interview, if not only to see Jermaine get emotional, but because he talks about his time with Indiana too. I've posted the link below:

Oakland, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Golden State Warriors center Jermaine O'Neal
will undergo arthroscopic surgery Friday to repair a torn ligament in his
right wrist, the team has announced.

O'Neal had been playing through the injury, though he sat out Wednesday's game
against the Dallas Mavericks due to discomfort in the wrist. A timetable for
the 18-year veteran's return will be determined once the procedure is
completed.

The 35-year-old, signed by the Warriors in July after spending the previous
season with Phoenix, was productive in a reserve role with his new team. Over
17 games, O'Neal was averaging 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds in 18.6 minutes per
outing.

In what was likely a related move, Golden State signed center Hilton Armstrong
from the club's NBA Development League team in Santa Cruz on Wednesday.

Augustin put up 14 points and 8 assists in his first game as a Chicago Bull. Admittedly, he didn't shoot too well, but I guess there's still a little left in his NBA tank. I wasn't sure he was 'bout dis life anymore.

Re: The Former Player Thread

LOU was cut from NO. Hate to see that so close to us playing them I was looking forward to him hitting the court against the Pacers. Hate to say it but his NBA career maybe done unless there is an injury.

Re: The Former Player Thread

Marshall made Darren Collison look like the best PG in the league out there, so many wide open shots, and easy plays. He can maybe make hollow stats on a bad team, but I doubt he'll ever be anything on a good team.

"It's just unfortunate that we've been penalized so much this year and nothing has happened to the Pistons, the Palace or the city of Detroit," he said. "It's almost like it's always our fault. The league knows it. They should be ashamed of themselves to let the security be as lax as it is around here."
